We
came here to shine our light. But first
we have had to master this high and fine
art to allow for the temperance of such
brilliance so that we could learn how to
work together. For we find here that
shining our light to blind, exclude or
compete with others is not what we came
for. In other words, before we
could really shine our light, we have
had to experience the loneliness of our
own omnipotence, in favor of taking a stand for our own
unique desires and destiny, and looking
at the power of going deep versus wide
to express our own soul's purpose.
Ironically, as we step outside of
reductionist, linear time and thought, and into
the fullness of fractal time and the
realm of soul and spirit, we start to
fully understand the gift of this
physical world, and our embodiment takes
on a whole new meaning.

The
darkness of our world awaits you -- not
to engulf you, but to be transformed by
you. ~ Neale Donald Walsch

We
are all feeling it. The possibilities of
an age of peace, enlightenment,
artistry, creativity, unity in
diversity, true appreciation for the
earth and for the human condition can
feel a bit like a fairy tale come true.
Some of us are finally seeing how it is
even possible to enjoy the journey, and
not focus on the destination. Can
you imagine how sad we must have been to
have to compete and bump up against each
each other in order to reveal our unique
soul's purpose to ourselves? We had to
individuate, as this was and is our
fate, but our true destiny is to
re-unite and bring our great I AM
presence back to the whole to honor each
other. Humanity has finally "earned"
through its own innovations, creations
and evolution to come back into the
garden.... and the garden is right here
and right now ... on earth... with each
other.

Truth
be told, more people than ever before in
the history of the world have the
ability to find their tribe... to find
their kindred spirits and to become
empowered spheres of influence in their
own right. This is the legacy of
creators gods and goddesses in the
making. It is our birthright to step
into the glory of the work of a true
creator. Like our maker who was so
patient with this work in progress
called humanity, we must also extend
this grace to ourselves, as we continue
to emerge and evolve our higher selves
into being. Could it
just be that this new era of social
consciousness is both too good and true?

"You have to
participate relentlessly in the
manifestation of your own blessings." -
Unknown

Akthough these new sensories, skills and ways of
being are not without their own set of
new rules and potentials, as well as
pitfalls, the vast majority of the way
has been cleared for both lift off and a
grounding of this new energy. The antidote for any
discomfort as we acclimate is to continue
to do our clearing and recovery work so
that we can come into complete integrity
with ourselves and others. This
transparency that is phasing in, after
all, is what we've wanted all along. For
true intimacy and co-creation requires a
measure of vulnerability that we may not
have felt safe enough to express. To truly be
seen we must reveal what is in our
hearts. We must be strong within
ourselves to reveal our tender hearts to
each other and to the world. In the new
earth, our love is our boundaries and
our protection is our love.... and the
artful expression of our life's
purpose... whatever that may look like,
even as it changes and grows.

“It is now
your responsibility to nourish the
qualities that are in you to create the
luminous and glorious life that you
desire. From your heart, radiate all
this Love for humanity. Share your Joy.”
- Sai Maa

A new
age of originality and creativity is
upon us, a renaissance of the highest
order, giving license to the individual
to shine on the world stage right in the
comfort of our own hometown. Now we live
locally, but think globally. Literally,
the world is our oyster. We can have the
best of both worlds and find that this
duality is merging to form a synergistic
blend of all that is good and right. The
eternal will to good makes manifest
delight and joy in our lives now. We
must move forward now, even as some
still suffer. For we truly know that
misery loves company, which means that
any subscription to that channel keeps
it alive. This does not mean that we
ignore the suffering of others, and the
systems that are up for change. On the
contrary, our creative solutions have
never been more necessary. For this new
earth won't respond to force. It is our
power that we must source to create
heaven on earth by our own action.

So let your light shine, for yourself,
for your family, for your tribe and for
the world. After all...It's what we came
for.

"An anthropologist proposed a game to children in an
African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a tree and told the children
that whoever got there first won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run,
they all took each others hands and ran together, then sat together enjoying
their treats.

When he asked them why they had run like that when one could have had all the
fruits for himself, they said, ‘UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the
other ones are sad?’ (‘UBUNTU’ in the Xhosa culture means: ‘I am because we
are.)"
